Things to do

Outdoor pursuits: Cap d'Antibes self caterings make the perfect base for scuba diving adventures, with several interesting year-round sites lying between between Antibes and Cannes in Golfe-Juan, which boasts a further selection of luxury holiday homes. Additionally, there are all the usual beach activity outlets for boating, fishing, sailing, surfing and skiing.

Beaches: Unlike the beaches at Cannes just down the coast, the sand on the beaches around Antibes and Juan-les-Pins occurs naturally, including the one right by the Old Town, the Plage de la Gravette. Guests have 15 miles of coastline and 48 sandy beaches to choose from, many with Blue Flag status.

Food and drink: Standard French fare meets Mediterranean seafood is the overriding restaurant vibe, but there are plenty of choices in cuisine, with Indian and Asian among the selection. Guests are never far from a café or bar, many with spectacular views. While there are many places to drink, however, one not to miss is the Absinthe Bar La Balade.

Shopping: The covered market near the harbour, the Marche Provencal, provides fresh produce every morning except Monday, which supplements the many health food stores in the town. Nearby Juan-les-Pins has a wide selection of boutique clothing shops, and local art can be found for sale in the Antibes Old Town galleries.

Culture: Picasso lived in the town, so the Museum dedicated to his life and hosting 245 of his works is definitely worth a visit. As for architecture, the pristine 16th-century Fort Carre dominates Antibes' harbour and is open to the public most afternoons, via guided tours only. The Jazz Festival in adjacent Juan-les-Pins is normally held every July and attracts the biggest names in the genre.

Weather in Cap d'Antibes

Antibes' Mediterranean climate consists of long, hot summers and short, mild winters. Even at its hottest, though, the temperatures rarely climb above the high-20s/low-30s. Most of the rain is concentrated in the Autumn, but the subtropical influence means the rain typically falls in bursts rather than persistent drizzle. Winters rarely get chilly, with snow or sleet maybe once a decade.

This apartment was just lovely! My family of two adults and two young children stayed for about 5 weeks during July and August 2017 and had the most wonderful time. The apartment is clean, neat and well stocked with all the essentials. We truly felt at home for the duration of our stay with only need of groceries from the market within short walking distance. Also, the beach, train station and bus station are very nearby, which was very convenient. Barbara and Pascal were excellent hosts. They were there for any need that arose and always friendly and easy to work with. I would highly recommend this place and hope to be able to stay again in the future!
